This gi was actually a lot better than I expected. I've owned two other lightweight gis, a Gameness Air and a Vulkan Ultra Light, both in A2. The gi top on the Vulkan was way too stretchy. Somebody could literally grip the sleeve and stretch the thing out over my hand. The top on the Gameness was way too baggy. That made it nice and airy, but I was pretty much swimming in the thing.

Now, the gis that fits me the best (so far) are the ones made by Grips Athletics in A2. I'm 5'9" tall, and my weight fluctuates between 150-160 depending on what holiday it is. But they don't make a lightweight gis, which I like (and sometimes need), so I've been searching for the perfect one for a little while now. And folks, I think I've found it.

The Flow Air in A1L fits me very well. Definitely better than the Gameness Air A2, and dare I say, maybe even better than my A2 Grips. It is definitely light, weighing in at 2 lbs 13oz. Despite its weight, the material doesn't feel like lightweight. The weave is very sturdy, and doesn't stretch the way the Vulkan Ultra Light does. Overall, I'm impressed enough that this might even become my competition gi.

First a disclaimer: I'm only two months into my BJJ journey, so I'm no gi expert and this is only my fourth gi (two of which were sent back), but my first gi from FLOW KIMONOS. Perhaps it's a bit soon to post this review, as I've only had the kimono for a little over a week, but here are my initial impressions. I'm 6'0" 170 pounds, and out the of the box the A2L fit me nearly perfectly, perhaps an inch long in the pants and sleeves. I washed it first on a setting between warm and cold and dried it on warm. If it shrank at all I couldn't tell, so back in for a warmer wash and dry. After two classes and two more wash/dry cycles on HOT, the sleeves and pants have maybe shrunk an inch at most. I'd still like an extra 1/2" of shrinkage, but that's me being VERY nit-picky. Very impressive. I'd also prefer just a tad more room in the crotch area, but it's nothing I noticed while rolling. The gi performed just fine in the two classes I've worn it to, and it feels tough as nails, so I've no doubt it'll last and last. Another HUGE plus for this company is that I've messaged him on FB more than once with questions, and he answered my questions promptly and courteously! The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is due to the comfort factor. I realize the rip-stop pants will probably never feel like combed cotton, so no real problem there, but the fabric on the kimono jacket is still VERY stiff and almost rough to the touch. Surprisingly so. My other gi (also with four washes) feels like a cashmere sweater by comparison. But I'm definitely keeping the kimono, as it fits so well I'd be foolish to not keep it. In the event that the top softens up over the next couple months, I'll be more than happy to give it 5 stars.

Only reason I gave this Gi 4 stars is because I had to return it before using it. I am 5'8" 205lbs that puts me squarely in the A2H size according to the Flow Kimono size chart. However this Gi was too small. Pants were a great length but the rise (crotch) was way too short. The top was too narrow in the armpit/shoulders and I couldn't cross the front flaps without the fit of the whole top just looking deformed. My advice, if you're close to the border of a size: go up. Everything else about the Gi was great.

I didn't purchase this gi on Amazon, but I love it so much I wanted to leave a review for those considering it. In short, I would purchase again, and I'd recommend it to anyone, especially if you are in-between sizing - most other brands don't have them. I have purchased 5 different brands of GI, and this one is in my opinion the best value for the money spent. You could spend more on a gi but you'd get little difference in materials and craftsmanship, and if you spent less than this you will not get the same quality. It really is the perfect blend quality and value. It's made of excellent materials, and the construction is top notch. I also own one of Flow's pro gi's and it's basically the same (I believe the material weights are the same), but the pro gi has some special fabrics in certain areas that help with making you feel cooler, and it has seam tape in all the critical areas making it even more durable and polished looking. BOTH are excellent gi's and it will be hard for me to purchase from other companies in the future. Prior to finding this company, I tried, Fuji, Storm, Sanbul, Elite Sports, and Hyabusa.. I'm 5'5", 195 lbs, muscular build with the "dad bod" stomach, and an A2H fits me perfectly.

This is my first GI so I do not have anything to compare it to, but here are my observations.It was packaged nicely and the bag it comes is very nice. At first it was a little stiff, but after first class and wash it is now better, I assume it will keep getting softer with use. Sizing i am 5'8 167lb so i got A2, it is a little bit weird in shoulders and the pants are pretty big, but the do adjust down just fine when you pull the strings. It dries pretty quickly so that's a plus. Gi seems to be made very well and feels like it will do well with time. Overall I am happy with it.Just an additional comment got my free belt from Flow and wow, this probably the nicest belt i have held in my hands most belt require some break in period before they soften up this feel amazing right out of the bag soft, durable.

I've bought many a gi over the 20 years training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and this is among the best. It's light weight and strong, very simple design. Because flow has intermediate sizing, I was able to get a better fit. I'm 5'11' at 180 and the A2 L is perfect. I own the A3 hemp gi from flow, it's great but a little too big. I train regularly and I'm starting to notice quite a bit of wear on my 2 year old hemp gi. I'll soon be ordering another hemp gi, ( it's twice the cost of the air gi ) but this one was a nice surprise gift and the price can't be beat, less than $100 delivered to my door. I'm sold on the flow product and hope to continue playing in them for years.
